2CHRONICLES 29:
Ahaz’s rule was one of the darkest chapters in
Judah’s history. The people didn’t even bury him in the royal
cemetery. He closed the temple and put up places to worship Baal
all over the country. Even when under severe punishment from the
Lord, he never turned to the Lord for help.
ECCLESIASTES 5:
In
yesterday’s chapter, I really like the passages that talk of having
the companionship of 2 (or perhaps 3) people. And that idea was
echoed by Jesus’ teaching about 2-3 gathered to promote Jesus’
cause.
MATTHEW 18b:
Yesterday we heard the passage that deals with
following Jesus with child-like faith. And we heard instructions
for restoring broken relationships, and what to do if
reconciliation is not achieved.
GNT Translation
note:
Ecc. 5:6 Don't let your own words lead you into
sin, so that you have to tell God's priest that you didn't mean
[something//it]. Why make God angry with you? Why let him destroy
what you have worked for?
9
Even [the//a] king depends on the harvest.

Mat.
18:20 For where two or three [of you] come together [because you
want to glorify Me//in my name], I am there with
[you//them].”
